Smoky Mountains Short Term Rentals

[Mike Bellom]

I'm interested in purchasing a STR in the Smoky Mountain region. Between blogs/forums/podcasts/calls with brokers/etc -- here are the biggest takeaways I have so far. I would greatly appreciate any other tips and/or things I should keep in mind. For better or worse!

*Stay within a 30 minute drive from Dollywood.

*At a minimum, focus on 3+ bedroom properties. But ideally, you want 4+ bedrooms. 

I'm confident I can self manage the property, but I'm not even concerned with that part of the process right now. I need to buy something before I worry about renting it! 

Thanks all!
